General description

α-1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP)/orosomucoid (ORM), a glycoprotein has a molecular weight of 41-43kDa. It is considered as one of the important acute phase proteins in humans and rats. AGP may belong to the lipocalin family.

Application

α1-Acid glycoprotein from human plasma has been used:
  • as negatively charged protein to investigate the adsorption processes onto the surface of polyelectrolyte multilayers
  • to incubate plates coated with purified antiserum in the study to investigate its serum concentration by ELISA
  • to study the effect of its different concentrations on the antiviral activity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors

Biochem/physiol Actions

α1-Acid glycoprotein possesses immunomodulating effects. It has the ability to bind to acidic drugs, like phenobarbital.

Preparation Note

Purified from Cohn Fraction VI

Subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) of Escherichia coli is an AB5 class bacterial toxin. The pentameric B subunit (SubB) binds the cellular carbohydrate receptor, α2-3-linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). Neu5Gc is not expressed on normal human cells, but is expressed by cancer cells.
